That discovery haS now been made :in the-Patent Antihi:lous Pals of the Re,.

Price is. id. wires. per box, With ample direCtim. No just comparison can be made, betwixt the art of direEting the operations of armies,and any of those arts or kinds of business in which the same circum stances are continually repeated. War is rot to be carried on in the same manner in one country as in another: The operations of small ariniec are not to be imitated in those of great ones. If they were, the most fatal consequences might ensue. The disposi tion and motion of armies in a field of battledepend greatly on the nature of the ground, so that nothing can be more diversified. Fur those,:and many other reasons that could be given, generalship is er: t ireiy an exercise of the understanding. Had it been possible to acquire it in the same manner with a mechanic art, the long wars carried on by Louis the Four teenth must have produced some able Commanders; • yet eight of thOse to whom that monarch entrusted the command of armies, and who had risen gradually to the high rank of Alarechal de France, committed such errors as brought their cOnntry to the brink of ruin *, whereas Conde; Turenne, and Luxembourg, whose genius enabled them tb form a perfe6t idea of military operations before they had seen them, 'commanded armies with the same success from the beginning, that they ever did - afterwards.— Prince Eugene, of Savoy; was Generalissimo of the Austrian armies froM the beginning of the last ceri tuly to the year 1736, a period of almoSt continual, wars, in which, if the military science could be ac quired in the manner that many imagine, it might naturally Ike supposed, that under such a Com mander, 'some able Generals must have been been produced in those armies. But the first war under taken by the Great Frederic began a tew years after the death' cif Prince Eugene, and the Prussian Mo narch lessens the merit of his own continual vic tories, in that war, by acknowledging a want of ability in all the• Austrian Generals t. It is well known that the present Conqueror of a great part of Europe made lits first essay in the command of armies, by defeating in Italy the experienced Gene. rals of the same power. • Besides the great diversity of circumstances in Military operations, there is another reason fur this, which those who think that the art of war may be acquired like a matter of practice are not aware of. Let any one compare an exact plait of the extent of a few mileS in a part of the country little known to him, with the appearance whicb the same .objects present to his' sight, he will perceive how .different. that appearance is - from the reality of the proportional %, extent of all the parts delineated in th e p l an, an d how much he would be mistaken itt judgingof the extent of distant parts of the ground. Then supposing two armies ro be extended over the same part of the country;, he could still less form any, idea of the motions of troops iii those distant parts, :even before clouds of dust and smoke concealed those objects from him. This would be the case, if he were 'only a spectator entirely master of his own time, and not an Officer whose attention must .be taken up with his duty. It is' therefore imagined only 133; persons who have no idea of the operations of armies, that Officers can judge of those operations from what they themselves see. They learn what passed in an engagement after it is over, by the reports of those who commanded the different divisions of the army, examined on an exact pkan Of the ground, in which the dispositions of both armies, and the changes of disposition are delineated ; they may im prove the knowledge thus acquired by traversing the .ground itself in all direelions, but cannot view the • .whole at once as in a plan,. unless from the top of .some neighbouring mountain, without any other hill or mountain to intercept the view. Officers may in the same manner acquire a 'perfeCt knowledge of all the wars that, haVe beeri waged since the revival' of the military science, at least of all those whereof exact relations, with plans and descriptions of tl.e fields of, battle, have been given by intelligent mili tary men.. • But as one cannot be said to have studied mathe matics, although he has read all the demonstrations that are to be found in the works of the greatest mathematicians, unless he has convinced himself by the exercise of his own , reason of the truth of those' demonstrations,' so neither can a Military than be said to have studied the. art of war, al 1-hough he has read the accounts of all the cam paigns from which any instruction. can be derived, and the 1113XUUS and observations which the greatest 'Generals have left, uniess he has, by die exercise of his own reason, discovered w hether or not the caUses assigned by those Generals for:the good .or bad suc cess of campaigns, or for the victory or the defeat in engagements; were - evidently the real causes, and whether or not these maxims . and observationi were unquestionably just and true. By blindly -following an example without a- perfeal.comprehen sion of it,,egregious errors Might be committed.. If all this,were considered by those who are apt to ha z.ird opinions 'on the 'appointment of Military Com rnabders, they would be , sensible of the necessity of being well informed of the mental powers of the persons so appointed; and whether or not, having been bred in the army, they .haVe exercised those mental powers in meditations On.those abstruse and niost essential parts 'of the art of war;, which remain always unknown to the far greatest number of otii , cers of all armies. ' • * Those 'Generals were Bellefond, i.Tiarnieres, vivonne, Rocheiort, Soordis, Mai 'lard, andViiieroy.
